Next Level Racing - Ventilated Sim Racing Seat - ES1 Hypercool

Are you looking for the ultimate simulation seat for your most demanding endurance sessions? The Next Level Racing ES1 Hypercool is the first ventilated sim racing seat designed specifically for high-performance virtual drivers who won't settle for anything less. Built on the prestigious and ultra-durable ES1 platform, this evolution integrates an active cooling system that definitively solves the problem of excess heat and sweating during long-duration races.

Its innovative airflow technology uses two powerful centrifugal fan motors that drive a constant and silent airflow through its internal ducting. Thanks to 93% airflow coverage and advanced breathable SIMAERO mesh fabric, combined with molded PU foam, this seat actively dissipates body heat.

With a rigid bucket-style structure made of low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), this seat is designed to withstand the extreme braking forces of load cell pedals without any flex. Its optimized ergonomic profile allows you to configure it for both a GT driving position and single-seater Formula and hybrid setups, ensuring the perfect posture and maximum stability in every corner.

Key Features

• Integrated Hypercool ventilation system: Enjoy absolute thermal comfort thanks to its two centrifugal ventilation motors that distribute air evenly, eliminating heat build-up.

• SIMAERO breathable technical fabric: Aerospace-engineered mesh covering that maximizes airflow and combines with high-density molded foam to offer maximum endurance comfort.

• Absolute rigidity with no flex: Made of LLDPE by rotational molding, it offers unparalleled structural support capable of withstanding the most intense braking with load cell or hydraulic pedals.

• Formula and GT versatility: Its ergonomic and contoured design adapts to multiple driving styles, allowing a perfect fit whether you prefer the upright GT position or the reclined Formula position.

• High capacity support: Designed to accommodate a wide variety of body types, fitting waists up to 42 inches (107 cm) and safely supporting a maximum weight of up to 250 kg.

FAQ

How does the ES1 Hypercool seat's ventilation system work?

The seat features two centrifugal fans integrated into its back, directing a constant airflow through internal ventilation channels. This air is distributed directly to the driver's back and base through the breathable SIMAERO mesh fabric, which covers 93% of the contact surface to actively dissipate body heat.

Is this seat compatible with cockpits from other brands?

Yes. The Next Level Racing ES1 Hypercool seat features a standard side mounting pattern for sim racing. This makes it fully compatible with both Next Level Racing Elite Series cockpits and any aluminum chassis or third-party cockpit that supports side mounting, as long as the connection measurements match.

What noise level do the integrated fans produce?

The centrifugal technology fans are specifically designed under fluid mechanics principles to maximize static air pressure with the lowest possible noise. The sound is extremely low and is completely masked when using gaming headphones or speakers during your driving sessions.

Does it require an external power supply for ventilation?

Yes, the active ventilation system requires electrical power to operate the two integrated motors. The box includes all the necessary cabling to safely connect the system to the electrical current of your simulation area.

What pilot sizes is this bucket seat recommended for?

The ergonomics and internal width of the Next Level Racing ES1 Hypercool are optimized to offer maximum comfort and support. It is designed to support a user weight of up to 250 kg and comfortably accommodates drivers with a waist size of up to 42 inches (107 cm).
